Project Night Night is dedicated to improving the lives of homeless children, one sweet dream at a time.

With the belief that receiving a good night’s rest is critical for the healthy development of children, Founder and Executive Director, Kendra Stitt Robins established Project Night Night in 2005.  With nearly 300,000 homeless families in the United States, many families have to break up in order to enter emergency shelters.  Although families are generally reunited at the conclusion of their shelter stay, the separation places enormous stress on both the parent and the child.

What I love about this charity is that they are assisting mothers and fathers by donating individual tote bags each filled with a security blanket, an age-appropriate book, and a stuffed animal to children (ages 0-10) in homeless shelters.   Every child who receives on of their Night Night Packages leaves the shelter owning a book which encourages reading and family bonding, a security blanket which can be cuddled, and a stuff animal which can become a cherished friend.

Project Night Night serves approximiately 15,000 homeless children annually.

To support this amazing cause, you can donate blankets, books and stuffed toys or better still, you can participate in their annual Silent Auction.  This year’s Silent Auction is aptly named ‘Sips in the City’ and is held on the 4th October 2008 in San Francisco.

Project Night Night depend on the generosity and support of the community for donation of auction items.  Maybe you can be creative and offer up a service, product or experience to be auctioned off.  I’ve offered a private, one-on-one Soul Coaching session as an auction item.
